There is an approved minor in multimedia available to students in the
Bachelor of Music Degree in Commercial and Electronic Music. The
program is available to students who wish to learn more about how music
and audio integrate with other media such as graphic and visual art in
the development of creative content. The classes in this program
are taken in addition to the full complement of music courses listed in
the catalog for the music major.

The Multimedia Minor is a cross-disciplinary course of study designed
to provide students with ways of perceiving and applying media to concepts
and ideas to discipline related major programs throughout the university.
Within the range of courses offered through this minor program, students
will engage in meaningful critical thinking, discussion and the development
of compositions that integrate a wide range of evolving technology.

The minor will consist of 18 hours with nine hours of core courses and
